We are united
in acting together to quickly deal with emerging issues that affect the future beneficial applications of gamma processing in North America.
Our mission
Ensure the industrial use of gamma irradiation remains a safe, secure and vital processing technology for the sterilization of healthcare products, for the enhancement of food safety, as well as for other agricultural and industrial applications.
Safe
GIPA members have implemented industry leading safety programs developed through best practices and regulatory compliance for more than 50+ years.
Secure
GIPA members have implemented facility security programs to address site and regulatory requirements. These programs ensure secure and effective lifecycle management of cobalt-60 sources.
Vital
Co-60 sterilization is vital to global health care. Gamma irradiation is used to sterilize more than 45% of the single-use sterile medical products globally.
The vital and beneficial applications of gamma technology
in the development of responsible regulations that enhance the safe and secure management of cobalt-60 sources and related irradiation processing facilities.
Other applications of gamma sterilization such as food safety, agricultural and industrial applications are equally important with respect to safety and product quality.
